So, I again ask if anyone is going to come up with an Obama walk of fame here in Springfield.
He spent a lot of time here (I assume) when he was a state lawmaker. And unless he brown bagged it, he had to have eaten out somewhere while in town. Maybe he even had a favorite restaurant. Surely those restaurants he did frequent are going to tout the fact that “Obama Ate Here”. Where did he stay while in Springfield? What other activities did he partake in here while representing his district?
Look, we aren't shy here about exploiting political celebrities. It’s time to gin up the Obama tourism machine. I offer this slogan free of charge: Springfield -Where Presidents Are Made!

I know it's probably a false memory, but having seen Governor Thompson, Governor Edgar, and Brenda, Dick Durbin, Paul Simon, several Mayors, the Culkin Family, several big name actors, television personalities, and rock performers standing in line at a local restaurant (which I worked at) I can say that I do recall having seen Obama in that line too.
This isn't going anywhere, but I thought I'd say that to impress everyone.
I seem to remember mention that Bento's was his favorite Springfield restaurant.
